Monster Hunter 4 is part of the generally console series which appeared on PS2, and then Wii. The fact MH3 was a Wii-exclusive already meant the series was on Nintendo consoles,, 3DS is the natural next console really, as doing a full HD type production on PS3 or Wii-U isn't gonna happen for a Japanese centric franchise.

The Monster Hunter Portable () of which all 3 versions released on the PSP - and the series which skyrocketed it to juggernaut status in Japan imo will remain on Playstation and be a Vita exclusive. It's a few years off and whatever, but the reality is the 3DS MH is a sequel to a Wii game, not a PSP game, and when they make the PSP sequel it'll be on Vita (Albeit exclusivity isn't guarenteed I guess).

The problem is people on here don't actually play or have an interest in the series, so they think the 3DS game is like, the sequel to the PSP one, when it isn't. It's still a big deal though, but not as big as deal as people think.

Thank You!!!, finally someone who understands reason, So i'm guessing you are one of the few fellow long term MH fans on here then.

Till portable 4th or the equivilent I won't be paying much attention to this new entry after (the comparitive) basicness of 3G & Tri (& I have a Japanese 3ds so could buy 4 on release if i wanted) for THE EXACT reasons you mention (not being a sequel to the more complete versions)

Good to see at least Tigrex has come back though, its a step in the right direction for the Nintendo Monster Hunter games, rumour is that gunlance & hunting horn (and dual blade, and bow, sorry if you liked those from the psp versions as looks like they wont be back either) users like myself will still be disappointed by their omission in (Nintendo's) 4 as well though
